This is a debriefing to all RHA members regarding the recent |RB| - [RF] issue:
The Rote Baronen squadron was a group of Red Hessians who have been granted a mandate to operate outside of the official Red Hessian zone of operations by adopting a modus operandi of an independent privateer force. Their first few operations were successful, but the issues started as soon as they returned home to Omega-11 and began operations in Omega-7. The Rot Front, currently stationed on Freital Base, Omega-11, did their proper duty to question the Rote Baronen pilots as they attempted to dock with the base. The Rote Baronen in return were convinced that they didn't owe the Rot Front anything, and proceeded to dock with Freital Base using RHA supplied dock codes, disregarding Rot Front authority. This situation was followed by a number of other similar failures to communicate, until eventually shots between the two groups were fired.
The Red Hessian Army at that point saw it fit to step in decisively and offered both parties a court hearing and an independent verdict. Both parties agreed and the matter was presented in front of the Revolutionary Council who have came up with an appropriate verdict within a day. The verdict required the Rot Front to begin full cooperation with the Rote Baronen and the Rote Baronen to switch their ID codes to Red Hessian. The Rote Baronen then acted in defiance of the Revolutionary Council verdict and refused to switch their ID codes. They were informed that they will be arrested by Revolutionary Guards should they refuse to comply with the verdict, and were followed up by transmissions from our allies and members of the Oberkommando detailing the exact consequences of this decision for their group.
The last transmission that was received from them described what seems to be a notice of disbanding by the group. Therefore, Red Hessian forces upon encountering any former members of the group are ordered to either attempt to impress them into the secondary raider group and debrief them for further operations, or have them relinquish their arms and give themselves up to the Revolutionary Guard.
